Well, we were right, someone else already had an accepted offer in on the land. I don't know why the listing didn't say that, but its typical. There is hope though.
The other people made a contingency that the land pass a perc test. It didn't. So now they are waiting to get an estimate for an engineered septic system - a very expensive proposition. If they don't like the price, they will walk away from it and Steve and I will be next in line. We don't mind that much about the perc test because we were thinking about getting composting toilets and a greywater system anyway.
So please join me in visualizing us getting this land. It is lightly wooded on 3.75 acres at the end of a dead end dirt road in the town of Austerlitz. It is absolutely perfect. I've been trying to think what magical thing I can do to make it ours. I might just go and pee on it.

Second comment. Make sure you write that contingency into your offer. And peeing on it sounds like the plan! K
I can send you some pee if you really think it'll help. I might just send you some anyway.
My candles are lit!!!
Oh. Wow. I hope you guys get it. I really really do. We're just starting on our land-finding journey, which is why I read yr blog religiously. We just looked at 3.75 perfect acres ourselves, but the house was too small and we are clueless about building AND are still trying to work our way into decent financing. It just wasn't time.I am so hoping it's time for you.Luck x 100.Lisa B-K
visualizing really works! and peeing may as well.i visualized our move, our house, leaving virginia earlier, selling our canoe, getting a better deal on our vw we were trying to buy...it all happened! so i'm visualizing for you...
I'm visualizing you dancing on that land! I agree, that if peeing on the land might help in any way--GO PEE! Even if you don't get the land, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you peed on it.I've been dreaming about greywater systems and composting toilets for a long time! Ah, how exciting to have such a venture so close for you. I also like to dream about earthships, wood-fired hot tubs, labyrinths, and compost. Right now, the closest I get to any of that is leaf-raked labyrinths and chucking rotting vegetables in the woods.
Yes! Go pee!N (also dreaming of greywater and earthships)
